The Art of Black Tie Weddings – Captured on Film


Black tie weddings aren’t just events — they’re elevated experiences. Defined by timeless fashion, refined formality, and a strong sense of occasion, these celebrations deserve to be captured with elegance and precision. My approach to filming black tie weddings reflects the grace and detail of your day, ensuring your story is told with cinematic depth and editorial sophistication.

My Signature Style – Editorial Elegance Meets Emotional Storytelling

I specialise in bespoke wedding films that blend cinematic beauty with emotional narrative. Whether your celebration is set within a historic estate, a grand ballroom, or a private countryside venue, I approach each black tie wedding with an eye for elegance, light, and authenticity. The result is a film that feels classic, stylish, and deeply personal.

What Sets Black Tie Weddings Apart – And Why They Shine on Film

Sharp tuxedos, elegant gowns, classic styling and a rich, editorial palette- all of these factors come together to create a timeless visual aesthetic perfectly designed for cinematic storytelling. Black-tie weddings are often hosted at grand venues with history and atmosphere- whether it’s an iconic estate, luxury hotel or castle, they all provide stunning settings for your wedding film. Soft evening light, candlelit receptions and dramatic lighting make black-tie weddings ideal for creating atmosphere on camera.

More stillness, moore emotion, more intention- there’s a gravitas to black-tie weddings that enhances the storytelling.

What You Can Expect from My Black Tie Wedding Films

Discreet coverage of your full day, with emphasis on emotion, light, and natural pacing. I include subtle cinematic touches — aerial shots, slow-motion, natural sound design, to create a bespoke wedding film that fully immerses you in the magic and wonder of your luxurious black-tie wedding. The integration of your vows, letters and speeches creates a narrative depth in a hand-crafted edit that reflects the aesthetic and energy of your celebration, whilst remaining whole-heartedly you.

“The cinematic way in which he films and edits all his wedding videos was just a perfect fit for us.

For most of the time we forgot we were even being filmed, so we were truly ourselves without any nervousness! He managed to capture every emotion and caught so many little candid moments that were just a joy to re-live.

His professionalism, care and general gentle persona leaves you at ease throughout the entire process and the finished product was truly incredible.”
